Book Club Guide for The Best of CaféLit 5

 

 

This is definitely a book for dipping into, rather than reading from cover to cover. Turn to page 112 and pick a drink you'd like right now. Read the story.  How well does it go with the drink? 

Maybe everyone in your group can do this.

What is your favourite story in the collection and why?

Open the book at a random page. Read the whole of the story you see there. Can you analyse it? Say what it is about without giving away the title, the author or the drink. How well has the author developed the characters?  What about the setting?  What do you like about the story? What do you dislike? Can the others guess which story it is?
